Abstract excerpt
Agouti-dominant spotting (Ads) is a novel mutant mouse that was spontaneously isolated from KOR1/Stm (KOR1), an inbred strain derived from a Japanese wild mouse. Heterozygous Ads mice exhibit dominant white-spotting on the dorsal coat, whereas homozygous mice display embryonic lethality. We generated [Ads×C57BL/6J (B6)]F1 (F1), F2 and [B6×(Ads×B6)]N2 (N2) mice to investigate the inheritance patterns of the Ads...
